I became a horse racing tycoon in Hokkaido.

Northern Airport Ranch.

Time quickly moved into the second half of the year.

Yuujin Izumi's schedule was no different from before; he came today to check on the two racehorses he kept at the breeding ranch.

This place boasts the best breeding facilities and experts in the country.

Spring and Autumn Equinoxes and Earth Star will learn here how to become a racehorse.

"Northern Ranch is really powerful."

Yuji Izumi remarked with emotion.

He was sitting in one of those small tour buses with three or four rows of seats.

I came here today to see the spring and autumn equinoxes and Earth, where training will begin.

A middle-aged man wearing dark green work clothes, a hat, and glasses.

"No, there is still much for us to learn."

Matsubara Tetsushi said modestly.

He was one of the key figures responsible for horse racing development.

The fact that Northern Ranch has so many top racehorses is naturally related to him.

"The person in charge in Songyuan is being too modest."

Yuujin Izumi looked at the herd of ponies that were looking this way and said.

He was genuinely envious.

This batch of racehorses from the Northern Ranch can create so much value; just a few of the better ones could fetch hundreds of millions.

This is clearly a foal born today.

The newborn foals are all cared for by their mothers, who are also pregnant with another one.

The foal will not leave its mother until it is one year old, and will graze with other foals of the same age. Around the second half of the year, it will be sent to a breeding ranch for training.

"Over there are some of the foals born this year at our northern ranch."

"Mr. Izumi, if you are interested, you are welcome to take a look. Our ranch is also available for purchase. You are also welcome to attend the auction next July."

Tetsushi Matsubara demonstrated his professional skills.

Izumi Yujin spent a lot of money with them at the beginning of this year.

This was his first year as a horse owner.

"That's for sure; the quality of the pastures in the north is guaranteed."

Yuji Izumi nodded.

This is the truth.

He already has a list of horses to buy next year.

"This is all thanks to the support of the horse owners."

"We've arrived. I already had the staff bring them out beforehand."

Matsubara Tetsushi looked at the stables ahead and said.

In addition to catering to horse owners, they also cater to horse trainers.

Once training begins, weekly training data will need to be logged in and fed back to the horse owner and trainer.

The trainer has successfully logged in.

Things unfolded exactly as Izumi Yujin had planned.

A very insightful new horse owner!

This is Tetsushi Matsubara's assessment of Hisahito Izumi.

The two stood at the door and chatted for a while about the recent matches.

Tread-tap-

Not long after, a one-year-old foal with blue deer hair was led out.

She had small, beady eyes and a long, white stripe on her face.

Messy hair, short tail.

The horse's physique looks good, but it's not as outstanding as I expected.

"This is the White Castle 2019."

Tetsushi Matsubara walked over and introduced the situation.

"Northern Black Horse is a promising new stallion that is highly regarded within our organization."

"Although the horse's physique isn't that outstanding, White Castle 2019 is still growing, and I believe it can achieve a good result at the age of three."

He naturally knew more about the racehorses produced on the northern pastures, including those from the Spring and Autumn Equinoxes.

In terms of bloodline, they are not as good as other North Black children in the same batch.

But he didn't say it.

When introducing a product, you should only talk about the good aspects.

"Yes, it looks very good overall, very beautiful."

Yuji Izumi nodded in satisfaction.

Looking at it this way, it's clear that my spring and autumn equinoxes weren't that outstanding when I was a child.

Horse racing can be categorized into several growth types:

Early maturity, average, sustained, late bloomer.

Among these types, precocious children mostly achieve good results in the first half of the year, around the age of two or three, but it is difficult for them to show any further good performance.

"Ordinary" means the most common type.

Sustainability refers to the type of continuous growth.

A late bloomer might not be able to perform until he is four or five years old.

This can be seen from the offspring of many stallions; some stallion offspring develop very slowly.

Modern horse breeders still prefer precocious horses that can achieve results at two or three years old.

Achieving good results can turn you into a stallion.

Neigh—

Spring and Autumn Equinox twitched its ears and then called out.

It seemed to hear a two-legged creature praising it.

"Little guy, let me pet you."

Yuujin Izumi chuckled and patted Shunjuu's head.

Grow up quickly.

This world is waiting for you to conquer it.

It feels really nice to the touch.

He touched it a couple more times.

"The White Castle has been a bit restless lately, but things should improve as it grows up."

Tetsushi Matsubara offered a reminder.

Although it's only a year old, its destructive power is already considerable.

One kick could send someone to the hospital.

*Sizzle*

Today, the spring and autumn equinoxes are unusually well-behaved, standing still in place.

His eyes were curiously observing Yuujin Izumi.

I've never seen a two-legged creature like this before!

Tetsushi Matsubara: "Let it show us its gait."

"Yes."

The young caretaker, holding Chunqiufen's hand, nodded respectfully.

He then led Chunqiu Fen along, following the pattern shown in the demonstration.

"Can I take photos and videos?"

Yuujin Izumi took out his phone and asked.

This was his first meeting with Chunqiu Fen, and he was very excited.

However, he did not express this feeling.

"Of course."

Tread-tap-

Tread-tap-

Today's spring and autumn equinoxes exhibit a very calm and composed temperament.

Left, right, then front and back.

Yuji Izumi held his phone in both hands and followed and filmed the scene.

This is one way to observe horse racing.

"I feel that White Castle 2019 sensed that its owner had arrived, which is why it performed so well today."

"I'm joking," Matsubara Tetsushi said.

He was still somewhat surprised by its performance today.

This really happened to Izumi Hisahito.

"Come on, let's take a few more group photos."

Yujin Izumi came to the Spring and Autumn Equinox and took a few pictures with it using his phone.

The young caregiver consciously stepped aside.

Young horse owners are something else.

Previously, I had seen middle-aged horse owners standing there with their hands behind their backs, exuding an air of authority.

This young horse owner has a modern feel to him.

He even posted a selfie.

*Sizzle*

*Sizzle*

Spring and Autumn Equinoxes are very curious about mobile phones.

Smell it first, then take a bite.

"You can't eat this."

Yuujin Izumi smiled and pushed Shunjuu's head aside.

He patted Chunqiufen's head again, then returned to Matsubara Tetsushi's side.

The next time we meet will be at the stables at the Mipo Training Center.

of course.

The northern ranch will continuously send data and gait displays.

In the coming period, Chunqiufen needs to learn how to become a racehorse.

Various racing instructions, gate entry tests, hill start training...

Howl!

Spring and Autumn Equinoxes were about to bite their phones again, but the caretaker stopped them.

"Take it back with you."

Tetsushi Matsubara felt that the spring and autumn equinoxes were about to begin.

Thus, the spring and autumn equinoxes were forcibly moved back.

He was still very grateful to Izumi Hisahito for spending 85 million yen to buy the racehorse.

Regardless, their ranch made a profit.

Goodbye~

Yuujin Izumi waved to Shunjuu, who was still looking back.
